ELEMENTAL Arts and Culture Festival has engaged the theatre piece ‘Charolais’ for No. 69 O’Connell Street on Saturday September 12 at 8pm.
We hear it is “a dark comedy of love and longing: rarely in Irish theatre are the challenges of farming life and the joy of sex expressed so frankly or with such charm”.
It’s the tail (ho) of ‘the other woman’, this time the triangle completed by a Charolais heifer. Siobhán’s boyfriend is unduly proud of his bovine prizewinner and the pregnant Siobhán fosters a murderous antipathy to said poor cow.
‘Charolais’ is written and performed by Noni Stapleton and produced by Bigger Picture Projects. It won the Bewley sponsored Little Gem Award at Dublin’s Tiger Fringe 2014. D
irected by Bairbre Ní Chaoimh, you can book via www.limetreetheatre.ie, manager of No. 69 or purchase at O’Connell Street itself.
